Barbara Bialick
(USA)
Dream of the Red Angel
The red angel with butterfly wings
Ascended from the table
Crimson like rubies.
Its citrine translucent wings
Shone with inspiration.
I am the red angel
From the days of red wedding gowns
In China.
My pear-shaped rhinestones
On my own red metal dress
Were also made in China
For American Christmas or
Everyday knick knack
Of candied apple color.
Higher and higher it flew
Beyond tree tops,
Past rain clouds
To the destiny
Of dolls.
